Warszawa Wileńska (English: Warsaw Vilnius Station) is a railway terminal in central Warsaw, Poland. It is situated by Plac Wileński (English: Vilnius Square) in the eastern district of Praga-Północ on the right bank of the River Vistula. Often simply called Dworzec Wileński (English: Vilnius Station), the name of the station derives from its past as the main station serving trains towards Vilnius.
The historic terminus of the Saint Petersburg–Warsaw Railway, the station opened in 1863 as the Dworzec Petersburski (English: the Petersburg Station). Destroyed in World War I, it was renamed to its current name and moved to its present location during the interwar period. The current station was built in 2000, replacing various temporary station buildings that had been in use since 1920. It is located in a multi-purpose building which also houses the Galeria Wileńska shopping mall.
Today, the station serves mostly local and suburban trains operated by the regional railway company Masovian Railways (Polish: Koleje Mazowieckie). The station is connected to the Dworzec Wileński metro station of line M2 of the Warsaw Metro. In 2018, an average of 20,000 to 24,000 passengers used the station daily.
